Jake in the desertBeen a long time since I listened to Meantime fully. This will determine whether this is my top album from 1992, or if it's Piece of Cake by Mudhoney, which I just did fully- and is another SERIOUS contender. These are my final two out of a larger list for '92, and this one is CLOSE, like some of the others. Some years are really tougher to figure out than others š

Oh, and the reason I'm listening to all this older music is because I'm working on that 'album for every year I've been alive' thing @ttntm did, and not only is it going to help future 'favorite album' blog posts @HailsandAles does, it's a wild thing to do. I probably won't mention it again til I'm done or almost done, but the list is here, 1980-1992 is done: https://record.club/jake4480/lists/one-album-for-every-year-ive-been-alive
Brief note on the 'album for every year I've been alive' thing. I have less than 20 years to go now, home stretch. And since I'm only doing one per year, some choices have been tough. And there's lots to listen to. Today will be 2008.
A strange realization I had, I love Weedeater a ton and have been playing several of their records, but strangely, many of the years they had albums, so did Static-X, and I love Static-X more than Weedeater-- just slightly. So Static-X has just BARELY edged out a Weedeater album or two for several of the years now š Weird. And tough.
Iām Tired And Everything Hurts@jake4480 Have you seen Static-X since Wayne Static died?
@guffo ugh. Yeah, I saw what they're doing. I hate it. hahaha
@guffo I should say, I personally hate it. I know the other guys were involved. But Wayne was the voice, he was so huge, and Cult, their 2009 one, he basically did himself. And it's amazing. I dunno, man. I heard his parents thought it was good, but I have to disagree. I do NOT think Wayne would've been cool with all this, not how they're doing it. But again, my opinion. haha
@jake4480 I saw them at Bloodstock last year and it went down really well. I guess I was never into that era of metal much to have an emotional attachment to it.
(I was kind of out of the loop for a *long* time due to moving to Australia in 2000, struggling to find work, moving back to the UK in 2004, working, then having kids. I had a lot on! I'm only now paying attention and going to gigs again because the kids are older now.)
@guffo ha! And wow, that IS a lot. I hear that. It came across good live though? That's good. Yeah, I never got to see em with Wayne either. Which is weird, I went to several Ozzfests haha
@jake4480 Yeah, they had a little tribute to Wayne half way through. It was quite touching. Then they immediately followed it with "I'm with Stupid" :D
